With tax-cut-happy Republicans growing ranks in the Legislature and Democrats angling for leverage on a key House committee, Gov. Asa Hutchinson is likely to experience more push-back on his tax cut plan.

President-elect Trump said during his campaign that repealing and replacing the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act would be a top priority of his administration. Now he and his fellow Republicans have their chance.

Gov. Asa Hutchinson is proposing a $50 million cut in Arkansas' income tax in two years, warning fellow Republicans that he'll oppose a push for further reductions unless they're offset by closing tax exemptions or cuts elsewhere in the state's budget.

Arkansas' support for War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock amounts to barely a fraction of the state's $5.3 billion budget. But you wouldn't have guessed that from a nearly packed room Gov. Asa Hutchinson faced last week.
